Du Yuwei left when he was halfway through eating, due to an important phone call. I wanted to leave with him, but Mrs. Jiang warmly insisted that there were some details about the courtyard that she needed to discuss with me, so I stayed behind.
After the meal, Zhou Heng and I were settled to the side, while the others seemed to have disappeared for some unknown reason, even Mrs. Jiang didn't show up.
We sat there feeling quite awkward, wondering why it was just the two of us left.
"I deliberately looked at the farmland nearby and asked, 'It's quite beautiful here, isn't it?'
'You don't have to be so restrained.'
'You, you noticed?' I was embarrassed!"
He poured out some of the strong tea from my cup and added some fresh hot water for me. "I like to drink tea like this. Maybe you're not used to it, it's a bit bitter. This way it's lighter," he said. I was surprised, he was so subtle and gentle, just like this steaming tea, flowing warmly into my stomach.
I took a sip, and indeed it had a light tea fragrance, with a suitable taste.
"I'm curious, Master, don't you eat vegetarian?"
He ate a lot of steamed pork for lunch, which puzzled me at the time, but I decided to wait and ask what times later.
"We mostly eat vegetarian, but we also eat meat, just that there are some fasting days when we can't eat it."
"For example, beef."
He nodded, his gentle eyes shining in the sunlight, as if covered with a layer of brilliance. The air of otherworldliness about him made me feel a bit dazed.
Suddenly, the phone rang, not mine, but his. Watching him take out the phone, I was dumbfounded. This was the first time in my life that I had seen a Taoist priest make a phone call. He spoke gently, but I observed him earnestly as if I had discovered a new continent. He hung up the phone and said to me, "It was my senior apprentice brother calling. There is a ritual tomorrow morning, so we need to prepare in advance tonight."
" Master is so advanced."
He looked at my surprised expression, somewhat helpless: "We Taoist priests are also human, not immortals."
"Do you also go online?"
"Very few."
My curiosity continued to grow, "What about WeChat? Weibo?"
Zhou Heng patiently replied, "We have WeChat."
" Master playing WeChat?"
This completely shattered my perception of him.
"Well, let's add each other on WeChat," I blurted out, realizing I had spoken too quickly, but it was too late to take it back.
Zhou Heng paused for a moment and then said, "Okay." I unexpectedly became WeChat friends with a Taoist priest. What a curious fate.
Originally, Mrs. Jiang wanted us to stay a little longer, but Zhou Heng had to rush back to the Taoist temple for something, so I couldn't linger and left with him.
This is specifically ordered by Mrs. Jiang to have the driver take us back. I am in the city, and Zhou Heng is in the suburbs, so the car has to pass through the third ring road before taking Zhou Heng home.
Along the way, the driver showed great respect and courtesy to Zhou Heng, and it was clear that he was well-liked by the the Chiang family.
During the car ride, we chatted about reincarnation and karma, and Zhou Heng's words made me feel shaken. The former atheist in me now has some reverence in my heart.
"I remember you once said you were an atheist, right?" he continued with a smile, "Actually, regardless of whether we believe in religion or not, we all need to accumulate Good Affinity and avoid evil thoughts."
But after saying this, both of us fell into a momentary daze, and I saw a flash of astonishment in Zhou Heng's eyes.
I carefully pondered the idea of accumulating Good Affinity and avoiding evil thoughts, nodding in agreement with his words: "The Master is absolutely right."
"It seems that the Master has cultivated well."
At this moment, the driver turned to me and said, "Miss Ling, we have arrived."
Oh, I suddenly realized that my conversation with Zhou Heng was so short, and I had already arrived at the drop-off point.
I picked up my things in a panic, "Master, I gained a lot from chatting with you. Also, next time I will definitely go to the temple to express my gratitude." He nodded and smiled gently, "No need to be polite, take care on your way." The car disappeared from my sight, but his gentle smile lingered in my mind.
Good Affinity ，what is Good Affinity?
Talking to him, I can't help but forget the worldly troubles. Is this considered Good Affinity?
When I got home, I took off my shoes and collapsed onto the sofa. Suddenly, I remembered Zhou Heng and opened WeChat. "Have you arrived? Rest well, you've worked hard today."
It's Zhou Heng, and he actually took the initiative to message me. I was startled and sat up straight on the sofa. He said "Thank you for your hard work," is he talking about the courtyard? What exactly is his relationship with Mrs. Jiang?
"I'm here, Master, you've worked hard too."
"I'll leave the courtyard matters to you."
I wonder why he thanked me like a master and seemed to care about the courtyard. Zhou Heng, a mysterious Taoist, why do I keep meeting him?
Monday was busy, with a meeting at the company. Each department reported their work, and Du Yuwei received a new case. Therefore, the following days will be even busier.
Mrs. Jiang requested the final draft by the end of the month, which means I will have to work overtime more often recently.
I was drawing a blueprint when Yao Yao rolled her chair over to me and asked mysteriously, "Are you going to the college reunion next week?"
I didn't pay attention to her, and casually replied, "We'll see."
"I heard Wang Ze is back."
My heart skipped a beat. He's back? I've been avoiding this name for a long time. Why has he returned to my world again?
"I pretended to be calm and continued with my work, saying, 'Oh.' Yao Yao grabbed my arm and anxiously asked, 'You just say 'oh' and have nothing else to say?' 'What do you want me to say?'"
"Ling Xiaomeng, don't think that I don't know that you may seem happy on the surface, but in reality, you haven't let go of him. Otherwise, why haven't you found anyone in two years of Miai s?"
I was speechless, feeling somewhat angry. I got up and went to the water dispenser with my cup.
Yao Yao hit a sore spot for me, poking holes in the pain that I didn't want to be reminded of, leaving me feeling completely exposed.
I stand in front of the French window, looking at the endless high-rise buildings. Rongcheng This city carries too much of my joys and sorrows, and I still can't face its reappearance with indifference.
"Ling, the boss wants to see you in his office," Xiao Wang's voice brings me back to reality. I quickly respond, "Okay. Thank you."
Returning to the office desk, I organized my emotions and took the folder to Du Yuwei's office. He greeted me with his usual playful smile and asked, "Ling Xiaomeng, do you want to take on this new case?" I replied, "You heartless boss, at least wait for me to finish my current work."
Du Yuwei is not annoyed, "But the client specifically requested you to be the lead designer."
I was surprised, "Why?"
He frowned, "It seems to be a referral from an old client."
I was very surprised that the old client valued me so much, which made it difficult for me to refuse.
"I'll have Xiao Wang give you the specific information later." He was quite impolite, indeed living up to his reputation as a penny-pincher.
I handed him the folder. "This is the most recent revision. Can you take a look and see if it's acceptable?"
He shrugged, "Mrs. Jiang, I won't get involved in that matter. I trust you."
Du Yuwei has always trusted me like this. I am very happy to have such a friend.
He still didn't have a serious look: "Don't look at me like that, I'll think you're secretly in love with me."
I gave him a disdainful look, "Someone like you should be taken away by the heavens."
"Alright, I don't want to get married now, and besides, no one can control me," he said boastfully.
